1 | Decreased macrophage paraoxonase 2 expression in patients with hypercholesterolemia is the result of their increased cellular cholesterol content: effect of atorvastatin therapy. | Cholesterol | paraoxonase 2 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Decreased macrophage paraoxonase 2 expression in patients with hypercholesterolemia is the result of their increased cellular cholesterol content: effect of atorvastatin therapy. | Atorvastatin | paraoxonase 2 | Homo sapiens |
3 | OBJECTIVE: To analyze paraoxonase2 (PON2) expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) from patients with hypercholesterolemia in relation to cellular cholesterol and oxidative stress. | Cholesterol | paraoxonase 2 | Homo sapiens |
4 | OBJECTIVE: To analyze paraoxonase2 (PON2) expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) from patients with hypercholesterolemia in relation to cellular cholesterol and oxidative stress. | Cholesterol | paraoxonase 2 | Homo sapiens |
5 | CONCLUSIONS: HMDM-PON2 expression is reduced in patients with hypercholesterolemia as a result of their increased cellular cholesterol content. | Cholesterol | paraoxonase 2 | Homo sapiens |
6 | Atorvastatin therapy reduced both macrophage oxidative stress and cholesterol content, and upregulated PON2 expression, thus contributing to attenuation of foam cells formation. | Atorvastatin | paraoxonase 2 | Homo sapiens |
